PROHIBITION IN GEORGIA.
Tho FELTON, Wine Room bliI Passed by the
HoUss-Its 8 rim 9 euI Provision


HoUss-Its .riBgebI Provision
ATLANTA, GA, July 20 The Georgia
House of Representatives to-day passed
the FELTON, wlne-roOm bill by & vote Of IS
to SO. The necessity Of the bill arose
! frop the fact that the law under which
lis o! the l37 counties OF Georgia have
| become dry, permits the sale Of domestic
wine. Under this law the state was filed
with wine-rOOms, which sold the vflest
compounds of wine and whisky. This
abuse was most fragrant in Atlanta.
hence, DR.. FELTON, introduced q bill in the
Legislature which is best told in its own
words:
To be entitled an.sct 70 levy sad collect
IsN CT ten thousand dollars CpOn dealers in
domesuc wines. who deal therein 10 the eXcIr-
sion OF foreign wines, alcoholic and matt
liquors; to prescribe penalties tO- violation of
this act, and fer other purpos.
@cIon /. Be II enacted OF the Senate
end House Of Representatives in
General Assembly met, and is hereby on
acted by the same. That from aud after
the passage of this act s tax OF SrG am
be levied snd collected upon each and
every dealer in domestic wines and other
intCXicants, who deals therein to the ey-
clusiOn of foreign wines, sIcOhOlic and
malt liquors; provided nothing IN the
act shall be so construed c. 20 leyv a tgy
on dealers in or producers Of domestic
wines manufactured from grapes OF. Der
ries grown in land owned, leased or
rented by SAID dealers, aad which land
shalI be located in the sts,e where the
dealer resides"
csc. . Be it enacted, etc: That said
tax shall be collected IS now prescribed
by law for the collection Of the LIQUOR
tx"
"Sec. 3. Be it enacted, etc, That sny
person or persons who shall, sitter the
passage OF this sc,, deal in domestic
wines or other iatoXicaDts, 70 the exciu-
sion Of foreign wines and other alcoholic
and malt liquors, and shall fsu or refuse
TO psy the lax imposed in this act, shall
be deemed guilty Of misdt meanOr, and
On conviction thereof snail be punished
IS prescribed in section 1910 OF the code
of 1852; nevertheless, the tax collector
shall proceed to collect the said tax as IN
other cases Of defauItiug taxpayers"
The fourth and LAST section repeats con
hicting laws.
This bill was vigorously opposed by
the members from Atlanta and other
cities, but the rural members would p.y
no attention to them. Its passage shows
the strength Of prohibition sentiment in
the state

led rather fast life. The Trust Com
pany discovered on Wednesday that the
bank stock would not protect its loan.
Woodruff had been given two checks
one FOR $50, 900 and the other for SIS
900. The larger check has been traced
in money found in possession of the
Adams Express Company, who were to
deliver it to New York bank when the
check has been presented for collection.
This will be saved unless the check is in
the hands of innocent parties The
smaller check has not yet been traced. 1t
is claimed that Woodruff is insane.

Ii is understood that City Marshal
Farmer accompanied by John Witcher
left Dallas for Gainesville yesterday
morning, via Fort Worth. As yet the
matter is wrapped in too much uncertainty
10 attempt giving facts. There
sre many that think that Witcher told &
straight story, which VIII lead to the al
rest Of the murderer Cor murderess) OF
Gcna Watkins Others again think his
statement unworthy OF belief, and point
to the mans record as
sufficient ground for disbeleying
ANYTHING he might say. Sheriff Snip
went TO Dallas yesterday, and on his Ie-
turn was asked by q reporter what he
thought of the so called "giye-awayn Of
Witcher Mr. Shipp shook his head and
replied that.it was very cold trail.
Evidently he put no faith in it.
LIS learned that the young man who
was engaged to Miss Watkins is deeply
mortified over the story that the asSas-
siua.Ion was done by woman Of the
town in order TO avenge herself for the
loss OF d lover, and denGunces al state

Rough on the Girls.


from the Bro1uro0d tCd,) Reporter,
A boy should not hug his girl between a
burning lamp and thin window curtain
The shadow on the curtain is very amusing
TO passers by; in fact, too good for a free
show The best place for a boy to do his
hugging is in the dark, and a girl should
do hers in the presence of her pa
rents, and she won't likely embrace
a serpent Virtue is standing on dangerous
ground when girl swaps slobber with
boy for mere asking. This is rather home
spun language, but it is as true rs if penned
by one of the inspired writers, and not by
witness Of the above described scene. The
boy that was seen in the above act may
smile, but the girl is going to do some ma
ture thinking. and she ought. too.

~ am going to sell vegetables again, and

A meeting of the stockholders of the
| Florida Orange Auction and Forwarding
Company was held at Jacksonville Tuesday.
At meeting of the directors in the morn
ing a code of rules and regulations, or by
laws, was adopted for the guidance of the
company. They were read by the Secre-
tary, and, on motion of Senator Mann,
unanimously adopted without discussion.
1t was agreed that a list should be started
for the purpose of taking subscrip-
tons to stock, which was done with the
following result: A. S. Mann, 20 shares: c.
L. Mitchell, 10 shares H. A. L'Engle, 10
shares; c. S. Moreman, 5 shares; Charlie E.
Pouland,, shares; John Q. Burbridge, 5
shares; c. w. DaCosta, 2 shares w. A.
and A. H. Mauville, 2 shares. The
capital stock of the company being limited
to $50 shares, at 800 per share, the above
subscriptions represented more than 10 per
cent. of the total amount of stock, where
upon an election for permanent officers was
held with the following result: President
Damon Greenleaf: Vice President John o.
Burbridge; Secretary, Charles E. Poujaud;
Treasurer, Charles w DaCosta; General
Superintendent. A. S. Mann. MeSsrs.
L'Engle, Mann and DaCosta
were appointed a special committee to
solicit further subscriptions TO the stock of
the company until the required amount of
$50 shares, representing $4,000, shall have
been raised. The meeting then, on motion,
adjourned subject to the call of the Presi-
dent. The object of this corporation is to
establish home market for oranges, and it
will forward any consignments of fruit
made to it to any point in the country, and
keep fruit growers and dealers posted as to
the price of the same. 1t will also, when it
becomes necessary, establish depot for
cold storage, where fruit can be kept for
any length of time, and it expects by this
means to protect orange growers by securing
better nricnS for their frnit
